In this episode Associate Editor Scott Newman is joined by a familiar face, Australian motor racing legend John Bowe, in the BMW M760iL xDrive.

JB was gracious enough to donate so much of his time we've actually split this episode into two parts. In the first part JB discusses his early days in single seaters, graduating to F5000 and the differences between that and F1, Allan Grice's Bathurst lessons and his bad boy image, older drivers and the competitiveness of Supercars and the decision to call time on his professional racing career.

In part 2, which you can find below, JB goes on to discuss his long relationship with Dick Johnson, approaches from other high-profile teams, his battles with mental illness, what he loves about driving, his toughest racing rivals and the one car and track list combination on his bucket list.
